Mid-Illini Jeepers

I'm going.

I would also like to express my great thanks to Steve for hosting all of us, Tom for excellent ribs & chicken, and the whole group for a fantastic weekend.

I'll be down Friday evening. Should be there for dinner. And I'll need a prime piece of floor for air mattress real estate, please.

Steve,
How are the trails? Dry (yeah, right), wet, crazy-fun wet, or sink-to-your-axle-tubes-while-standing-still wet?

I'm planning to be there. Not sure if I will be there Friday evening or Saturday morning, yet. I will be there Saturday evening for dinner.

My vote is for pork.

You can make a lot of power with 65 liters of displacement, but I think the 15,650 lbs of engine will be a slightly larger issue than the clutch. It's the cost of an MTU engine that would scare me. CAT stuff is expensive enough, but the boys from Friedrichshafen are really proud of their products.

We have burgers, buns and chips left over from Flat Nasty. Please consider taking this stuff for Washita.

Yes, currently the club has a planned trip to Washita on April, 28th.

Hey Brent, Since this is your first time to Flat Nasty and that it appears that you and Lida will be traveling down alone, I might offer some advice on how to find us upon arrival. Flat Nasty is fairly different than the Badlands (which you are familiar with) in that the entrance is not really a gat...

Me, too. Planning to leave Thursday morning.

I'm in. I plan to leave from the usual gathering place at the I-74 Morton exit gas stations at 6:30am.

I'll be there.

Congratulations to the whole Wilson clan! What's the plan to get all five of you into the 3B?

Nicely written, Matt. I think that is good advice.

In Morton, gas station just north of 74 at exit 102. First gas station on the right just north of 74. We'll plan on leaving from there at 6:30am.

I'm planning on a day trip on Saturday. I'm thinking of leaving from Morton (as a rally point) at 6:30am.

Yes, sir. And I am very happy for Jill and Jon. Congratulations to you two!

Hey Todd, If your engine runs just fine at all times except when you are at full throttle and at or near red-line, I wouldn’t discount a fuel rate issue so fast. It certainly could be a 'gremblins' issue in the ECU, but I think Steve might have a reasonable line of thinking to investigate - either f...

Not me. I'm having a hard enough time just repairing the last 12 inches of a CJ frame.

There is an article in the August edition of JP magazine about building a CJ frame from scratch (see page 36 of the Aug edition); maybe that is what you are thinking of.....

Sort of..... it requires some assembly.

I'll be traveling down to Jadwin on Thursday. I will offer to stop at the local Jadwin Wal-Mart to get food if I am provided a shopping list.

Any interest in having ice cream one evening? I can bring the maker if there is interest.

Steve, thanks for hosting us this weekend. Had a great time, as usual.

Planning to come down for Saturday. See you all then.

I'll be there.

OK. So, the 9th, 16th or 30th? Please advise.
